I mean, ESPN is a huge reason why Iowa State and the Big 12 are on solid footing right now, so canceling them might not be the best idea.
Yeah that was a strange take.I mean, ESPN is also a big reason why ISU almost ended up like OSU and WSU, considering they facilitated the whole OuT move to the SEC behind closed doors and without the Big 12's knowledge... and then tried to farm out the remaining Big 12 teams to conferences that they would have to pay less.
So yeah - pardon me if I don't exactly feel like treating ESPN like our saviors. The Big 12 is clearly the conference they're forced to deal with because they can't get rid of it.

David Pollock was probably the only ESPN College Gameday hosts that I liked... so of course ESPN got rid of him last year... or the year before... can't remember.
Anyway... it seems that if you're not super loud and obnoxious (like Stephen A. Smith or Pat McAfee).. then you're fired. It's terrible.
I know it's hyperbole but I'm not seeing anyone here bending at the knee to ESPN.
People just literally have to watch it in some way if you want to see ISU play for most of their games.
Really surprised by all the RGIII love in the early stages of this thread. I don’t think he’s good at all. He tries too hard to be someone else.
Sam Ponder has never been really good either. Is she sexy? Well…yeah…but she’s a sideline reporter. That is her ceiling. She broke through that ceiling for a while, but she’s not meant for that space.
RG3 tried to convince Caleb Williams to refuse to go to the Bears. Not a fan anymore.
If it isnt ISU or Illinois sports the rest is unwatchable. Well they do some good documentaries and PTI is solid.
Pollock is a GA legend and I actually thought he was more of a straight shooter than most would be in that position.
I LOVE the Fox radio program with T. J. Houshmandzadeh, Plaxico Burress, and Lavar Arrington. LOVE IT.
I thought Plax was a clown when he played but he is a great no nonsense guy. I hope that show stays put.
Up On Game.Do you remember the name of the show? Probably wouldn’t listen live but would check it out on a podcast.

Kiana Tom, Denise Austin, Bodies in Motion, and Body Shaping with Corey Emerson. These shows were better to watch than some of the garbage sports talk shows they have on now. The good old ‘80s!!I haven't thought about Kiana in years for someone I used to watch every single morning before school with a bowl of raisin bran.
I’m with the crowd that believes this had little to do with money. Sorry to see Sam go.She'll probably be fine a new job. However I wonder that she demanded $$$ for a contract (for a hot reporter) which ends now the cut for espn. Just stay a normal salary she'd still have a job. Rowe ain't going cut because she tried to demand pay too much.
Dumb thinking too hot for the contract. Holly should have been more salary than Sam Ponder anyways.
Pollock sucked arse.
Let me guess... you like McAfee though? McAfee is the worst. Just when I didn't think ESPN Gameday could get any worse... then they added that idiot.
Yeah I get that, and trust me I was very anti ESPN because of that. However, in the end, ESPN is the reason ISU is not like OSU and WSU, so I've come back around.I mean, ESPN is also a big reason why ISU almost ended up like OSU and WSU, considering they facilitated the whole OuT move to the SEC behind closed doors and without the Big 12's knowledge... and then tried to farm out the remaining Big 12 teams to conferences that they would have to pay less.

I don’t get it. If he’s what teens and 20 something’s consider cool then I guess I’m proud to be old and uncool.
Like do young people look at Pat McAfee and think he’s a cool guy and not a dork?
